Tillage and soil preparation are supported with plows, cultivators, and rotary tillers, while blades, box scrapers, and landscape rakes make grading and land leveling efficient. For hay and livestock operations, bale spears, bale grabs, and material handling forks expand productivity. This broad lineup of implements allows the John Deere 5103 to adapt quickly across seasons and job requirements, making it a reliable and highly flexible utility tractor.
